Medicom RAH450 Hakaider

[JB]

Well, here he is, the Mechanical Violator himself: Hakaider.

15 1/2" of sibling rivalry.

The pins that hold his 'brain dome' on are removable in case you want a closer look at his squirming, crazed mind

Great stuff. Do the RAH450 have any articulation at all? Or just like a statue? I've heard they have very limited poseablity, but not sure how they mean by 'limited'.

I am (and my DX Kikaider as well) are waiting for the 12" DX Hakaider.

[JB]

It is very limited. Arms move up and down but no bending at the elbow. I think you can rotate the head on some, but that's about it.

Very cool, it' s a pity his articulation are very limited

[00silvergt]

Yeah that's the thing with the RAH450's nice detail albeit no articulation, a very nice statue.

Big deal! So are the freakin' JUMBO's and Daigokin's!! I don't see anyone complaining about that!

This is more like the "Jumbo" of the 1/6's!! VERY NICE JB!! I am still at awe!

Wow! How did I miss this when you posted last year? Very nice.

They had a 12" version at one of the local shops last time I was in there. I think it was in a black window box, with a flap on the left of the box, if I remember correctly. can anyone tell me what version it likely was from this description?

Well, I don't collect neither the Daigokins nor the Jumbos...not really complaining, though, just stating how things are..."nice detail, no or limited articulation." ;D

If it is a black window box without a flap thingy that is the old Medicom or classic medicom "varsion". If it has some neat painting on the flap which opens up to a window, that would be the newer, DX "varsion" which is newer, cooler and more expensive. It is also limited in quantity so if you like it and it is priced right (below $200) pick it up since it will be $400> by this time next year.

Oooow, nice images JB.....Hakaider is such a classic, kickass design and this version look GREAT. I like the image using the MachBaron against his gun to show some scale.... ;D

Problem is, this thread is old now so 00silvergt's prediction about reaching US $ 400 has probably come true already.
